Below are the steps to install ground protection mats without any fail.
- Place your ground protection mats on the surface you intend to work on. Make sure you lay down enough ground mats for heavy equipment support and driving.
- Connect the ground protection mats! Just identify where your pads meet and place our connectors on the bottom and top half of the mat.
- Ensure the connectors are lined up before screwing in the bolts to lock the ground protection mats together!
- Once you have the proper amount of ground protection pads covering the worksite/surface and they are secured properly, slowly drive the machinery on top of the pads. Check for any sliding, excessive bending, or breakage of the lawn protection mats.
- Once you’ve rolled your vehicle or heavy-duty machinery onto the mats and there are no issues, you can get to work with confidence!
